Body count 1.5.05

To honor the war dead and fill an information gap in US mass
media, City Newspaper will run weekly
lists of American soldiers and Iraqi civilians killed during the occupation of
Iraq.

The totals:

1,333 American soldiers, 151 Coalition soldiers, and
approximately 15,038 to 17,240 Iraqi civilians have been killed in Iraq (a
recent survey published by Lancet
medical journal estimates as many as 100,000 Iraqi civilians killed), and 5,301
American soldiers have been seriously wounded, from the beginning of the war
and occupation to January 4.

An Army study found about one in six
soldiers in Iraq report symptoms of depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic
stress disorder; some experts predict that over 100,000 soldiers may eventually
require mental health treatment.
